Using the Apache Mahout machine learning libraries [closed]

I've been working with the Apache Mahout machine learning libaries in my free time a bit over the past few weeks. I'm curious to hear about how others are using these libraries.

How Mahout libraries can be used for big data analytics?

Mahout offers the coder a ready-to-use framework for doing data mining tasks on large volumes of data. Mahout lets applications to analyze large sets of data effectively and in quick time. Includes several MapReduce enabled clustering implementations such as k-means, fuzzy k-means, Canopy, Dirichlet, and Mean-Shift.

How does Apache Mahout work?

Apache Mahout is a highly scalable machine learning library that enables developers to use optimized algorithms. Mahout implements popular machine learning techniques such as recommendation, classification, and clustering. Therefore, it is prudent to have a brief section on machine learning before we move further.

Which of the following is supervised learning algorithm with respect to Mahout?

There are many supervised learning algorithms such as neural networks, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Naive Bayes classifiers. Mahout implements Naive Bayes classifier.

I used Mahout to implement a distributed recommender system. Our project was to develop a mobile platform to create collaborative filtering recommendations. We gathered data from the users and then used Mahout + Hadoop to make the recommendations.
